I'm working on a piece of graphic art on illustration board, that was framed in the late 40's early 50's. The window mat was glued to the margins of the illustration board with an adhesive that has discolored to a dark orangy brown, and is brittle.
It's not animal glue, and I don't think it is rubber cement, because it softens/dissolves in acetone. (The old rubber cement that I have encountered is not so accomodating!).
Anyone from that era have any thoughts?
Thanks,
Rebecca
